The presence of a ‘death of the month’ competition within a company is quite a well-documented phenomenon

Sir, As head of operations for a financial services firm I found that the
excellent and sympathetic teams who registered customers’ deaths were
running a “death of the month” competition. It included: strangest cause of
death, oddest place to die and farthest place from the UK (letter,
Jan 15). I had to stop the practice, much to the teams’ chagrin, as they
were keenly looking for someone who could qualify for all three.

Sir, As a former council member and examiner for the Royal College of
Organists, may I endorse the proposal (letter,
Feb 28) that provision be made for a world-class pipe organ in a new
City of London concert hall
